Q11 Meta

Your KEFs are 4-ohm speakers that drop to 3.2 ohms at certain frequencies, making your Denon (and most AVRs) a poor match, especially if you are using other 4-ohm KEFs for the other channels. Fortunately, your Denon has preamp outputs for the front mains, so you can add an external amp for the Q11 M

Slight note would be that KEF Q11 Meta are rated at maximum 113dB. (And e.g. KEF R11 Meta (same price as 8341A) 113dB, R7 Meta at 111dB, and Q7 Meta are max. 110dB.) Where as Genelec 8341A can do 111dB/1m (and fill a large space (85m2, 3000ft2) to continuous 92dB at 10m/30ft). So really, it depends

For a room that size, you're going to need a beast of a loudspeaker to fill that size of space. You'll also need a multi-subwoofer bass system if you want solid, in-room bass response. The KEF Q11 Meta towers and two or more RSL Speedwoofer 10S subs is a good solution. Besides being a damn good subw

The KEF Q11 Meta have a port tune around 34Hz. So you're closing in on full-range. I wouldn't say they are very sensitive to positioning. But if you want stronger response below 50Hz, you probably do want to place them closer to the wall: https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/kefq11meta

The carbon black stands would be the safest option. But with the right decor in the rest of your room, the red stands might work with the sand shell speakers. Sidenote, the LS50s plus the stands are nearly $2000. While they are relatively compact speakers, floorstanding speakers don't really have al

Well, actually, I had a trial period for both the ML Motion Foundation F2's and a set of KEF Q11 Meta towers for comparison. Other then the F2's having a bit more of the highest frequencies, the Q11's were just better on imaging, sound stage, and transient attack so I decided to keep the KEF's. Now,

Thanks for the suggestion. I took as advantage of the Magnolia closeout to buy my KEF Q11 metas. Love them.

I did some more research and my opinion leaned towards the Q11 Meta. The price is the same and the Kef seems better and its warmer, but one thing that worries me is the 4-ohm impedance. I'm a beginner at this and I'm learning how to set up a home theater, I don't know if the Denon X3800H can handle

Sorry for the delay in replying, I hadn't seen your comment. The room is 2.30 m high, 3.35 m wide and 4.90 m long. I'm still in the planning phase. I did some more research and saw that the Q1 meta speakers are sufficient for surround sound, my planned setup is like this L/R- KEF Q11 Meta Center - K

I'd personally go with the R7. https://www.spinorama.org/speakers/KEF%20Q6%20Meta/KEF/i
